DermaSensor is an FDA-cleared AI device for primary care physicians that scans suspicious skin lesions and flags melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma risk in seconds. Its key features include a non-invasive spectroscopy scan that needs no biopsy, a locked AI algorithm that returns a “Monitor” or “Investigate Further” result with a 1-10 score, cloud sync with remote monitoring, and reimbursement support through The Reimbursement Group. It’s an adjunct tool that helps physicians decide when to refer to a dermatologist, not a diagnostic or screening tool. It’s designed for family and internal medicine practices, from independent clinics to large health systems.

Meet the Device that is Leading AI Skin Cancer Detection

Key features

  • Elastic scattering spectroscopy scan: five spectral recordings per lesion, each across 47 wavelengths, with no imaging or biopsy
  • Locked, non-adaptive AI classifier trained and validated on 20,000+ scans from 4,000+ lesions
  • Two-tier result: "Monitor" or "Investigate Further" with a 1-10 score; it does not identify the cancer type
  • Covers melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, in patients aged 40 and above
  • Cloud data sync, pushed software updates and remote device monitoring
  • Reimbursement support via The Reimbursement Group (no dedicated CPT code yet; unlisted codes are used)
  • Onboarding, training, e-learning and phone and email support included; no certification required
  • Physician Finder directory so patients can find participating clinics

Strengths

  • FDA-cleared (De Novo, Class II); the vendor says it is the first automated device indicated for all three common skin cancers
  • DERM-SUCCESS pivotal study: 96% sensitivity across all three cancers (95.5% on the device page), 22 centers
  • Overall NPV of 96.6% for a "Monitor" result in the pivotal study
  • Dermatology study (DERM-ASSESS III): 96% melanoma sensitivity and 98% NPV
  • 30-52% relative reduction in missed cancers when PCPs used the device
  • Result in seconds with no tissue removal
  • Monthly rental avoids upfront capital cost; training, support, replacement devices and updates are bundled

Best for

  • Family medicine physician evaluating suspicious lesions
  • Internal medicine physician
  • Primary care practice that wants objective support for dermatology referral decisions
  • Health system standardizing lesion assessment across clinics
  • Concierge, community health or worksite clinic physician
  • Residency program teaching skin cancer evaluation

Integrations

  • EHR/EMR systems (file, basic, system)
  • EHR/EMR systems (planned, system)
